Default Suspension kits..which to buy???

I have a 2006 Acura Tsx AT. I wanna drop it like 1.5" but also wanna make sure i get everything that i need to replace previous stock parts so everything can handle the weight that will be put on the shock/struts. What brands have good suspension kits that come with evrything that i need to make this possible? Lowering springs or coilovers? Thanks

Whats your price range???...a coilover system will come with everything you need but your looking at $900+ for something like this on a TSX.

Take a look into Koni/GC...I've read AMR is holding a sale (check vendor market place) but I'm not sure if they have this for your model car. There are tons of coilovers to choose from, just don't go cheap.

If your not looking for an adjustable height setup run with something like Koni str.t/eibach or tein combo.

Just my $.02, but the best thing to do would be to jump into the TSX forum and see what those guys are running on their cars. This way you can get legit verifiable information that corresponds to your ride.

GL!

Thanks, ive heard tein is used around alot on others cars, i know i wanna get the adjustable height ones (coilovers) cuz if later on i do wanna do a body kit, then ill raise it back up alil so the kit doesnt scrape, might look into tein or sumthin else thats not cheap

AMR Engineering, Andy will give you a 25% H-T discount I believe. Plus if you talk with him over the phone with your needs, he can suggest the spring rates you'll need. His systems are custom, made to order so there will be a waiting period while he makes your system. However, his stuff comes with lifetime warranty and look great.
